VERY IMPORTANT: This is a Wildlife Management Area and hunters are present during all active seasons - wear orange. If you plan to search for this cache alone, please make sure someone knows where you are going.
The “Cuguacuarana” name for the cache comes from a discussion in the forums we had regarding prints in the snow while following the Valley View multi-cache. About at the spot where this cache is located is where the pawprint photo featured in the forum was taken. Cuguacuarana is one of the candidates that many thought fitted the print. Find out what the word means and you'll have a little clue.
The cache is very unusual which will be a bit of its charm. It consists of a cache holder and an actual cache which is small (5"x 1.5"). It contains a logbook and a couple trinkets. It is well concealed and you must move something significant to get at it. When you replace it, please take the time to hide it as well as you found it (thanks).
IMPORTANT NOTES. This cache hunt involves some steep climbs. There is abundant wildlife in the area, most notably black bears and snakes (copperheads and rattlesnakes are known to be in this area). Please pay attention to your surroundings and DO NOT reach blindly into holes or gaps (like where the caches is hidden), check with a stick first. Be alert! If you know what to do if you have an encounter with one of these animals you will enjoy exploring one of the greatest natural resources in Northwest New Jersey.
